Quotes I find interesting...
"... The question I'm asking is, are we happier? As a human race? Is the world fundamentally a better place because of science and technology? We shop at home, we surf the web, but at the same time, we feel emptier, lonelier, and more cut off from each other than at any other time in history ... maybe it's because we're looking for the meaning, well what is the meaning? We have mindless jobs, we take frantic vacations. Deficit finance trips to the mall to buy more things that we feel are gonna fill these holes in our lives. Is it any wonder that we've lost our sense of direction?" - Palmer, Contact (the movie)
'Where we have strong emotions, we're liable to fool ourselves.' - Carl Sagan
